Hello All,

Revisiting Golded+ with Synchronet since the patches submitted by Rob were finally added to the source upstream. I think we finally may have a working version!

How have you set it up to read synchronets config? I have it setup here but I get a message that says "There do not seem to be any mail areas defined"!

areafile synchronet /sbbs/ctrl/msgs.cnf

Is all I had to do to get the areas to show up in Golded. Then I did some other
things to add in network dividers and sorting options.

Hello Accession,

areafile synchronet /sbbs/ctrl/msgs.cnf

That did the trick thanks..

some other things to add in network dividers and sorting options.

All my groups are in separate directories ../data/subs/fido and so on. I changed this area to /sbbs/data/subs/agora/ so I'll have to walk through the areas and change the paths to absolute paths so golded can read them.

Now to see if I can get sbbsecho to send this off.

No problem.

Shouldn't matter where the files are located, as msgs.cnf has that information stored in it. Though if you want a manual list external from Synchronet, you can run Golded once with the -W switch, which will create a goldarea.inc which you can modify, add AREASEP lines to, etc.. to clean things up. Then run Golded
normally without the AREAFILE definition, but with "include goldarea.inc" instead.

Now to see if I can get sbbsecho to send this off.

Yep, it worked. Although you'll want to disable your origin line in Golded as sbbsecho already adds this when it exports, and disable the tearline in Synchronet. So that it'll use Golded's tearline. Then sbbsecho will end up in the PID kludge, as always.

... Gee! How'd you ever get it to do THAT?

All the areas are listed but golded crashs if I try to read any area that isn't in ../data/subs, not sure why.

That did the trick and looks like it'll be easier to work with, thanks again! A quick find and replace to the paths and all the areas are listed and I can read them.

Luxurious!

OK, I'll have to read up on those settings and try again, maybe this weekend.

Then you can also add AREASEP lines (take a look at gold_ref.txt for usage) to separate networks with a divider line which you can hotkey to if you want to, etc. There's a bunch of stuff that can be done to make it look appealing to use. lol

Looks good here. Using wcNavigator here for the first time in years.

Hello Robert,

Looks like it worked :)

Excellent, still testing though.. I think I have sbbsecho set to use the existing tearline and I just removed the default origin from this message..

I hope I just have one tear and origin line.. :)

Nick, how did you remove the Origin from GoldEd?? I removed the ORIGIN statement from the cfg.. still dupes it.

Nick, how did you remove the Origin from GoldEd?? I removed the
ORIGIN statement from the cfg.. still dupes it.

I'm not sure how Al did it, but I actually disabled both the tearline and origin line on the Synchronet side. I just assumed that Golded would insert an origin line no matter what if you specified an area as echomail. sbbsecho should still add itself to the PID though..

Looks like Al went about it a little different, and has Golded in the PID, and SBBSecho in the tearline.

Nick

Other than the fact that SBBSecho invalidated a perfectly valid tearline and origin line, and then added new ones, it looks ok from here.
